If you search for a very good hotel (4 stars) in the Heide on Google, then the search results and the homepage display promise a lot about the Hotel Acht Linden. When we arrived we noticed a discrepancy from our expectations. The room was “old fashion”, as was the interior of the restaurant and the food was more home-style (but super tasty) than exclusive (according to the homepage). The staff was very friendly and helpful. All in all a great hotel if the presentation were more honest.

Very easy to reach as an overnight stop near the motorway, but still quiet. Dog friendly, great breakfast buffet and dinner was also very good. Gladly again!

After driving all day on the highway in Germany, we chose to take the first exit to find a hotel. Had no idea if there was anything in the nearest town, but maybe a kilometer from the exit we found Acht Linden. …

Terrible Experience – Locals Get Preferential TreatmentWe started by speaking English (two of us understand some German). The server was obviously more friendly with the local-speaking tables and clearly didn’t like us. Despite two of us telling him exactly what my sister wanted, they still got her order wrong. When they finally brought out the replacement, it was burnt.They kept asking us to get salads from the self-serve bar – an obvious way of stalling and telling us the food was going to take a while. In the end, it took over an hour for our food to arrive. Overall, the food was oily, bland, and just disappointing. Could feel the hatred delivered in the food. If you’re not a local or don’t speak the language, expect a much lower standard of service. We felt unwelcome and definitely won’t be coming back.Rating: Don’t waste your time or money. Run.

Recommended. Nice, clean rooms, extensive breakfast buffet, location in the middle of town. So it's not quite as quiet, but not disturbing.Service in the restaurant seems unfriendly, but at second glance it isn't. Complaint (forgetting pasta at the dish) was corrected immediately.

The hotel is conveniently located near the motorway, but don't worry - you won't hear anything. The room was big enough and very clean. All we were missing was a small refrigerator. On the first evening we ate at the hotel - at short notice without a reservation - and it was really excellent. But the breakfast buffet is particularly noteworthy. Very extensive, fresh and with a rarely experienced selection. The entire hotel makes a very loving impression and even the dog was welcome and was of course allowed to come into the restaurant and breakfast room.Ok, now there is a small addendum: We didn't attach too much importance to the employees' insecurity upon departure and we didn't find it tragic. If you stayed for 2 nights with food in the restaurant (which we had written to your room), you could then, after we pointed out that charging for one night and without the meal receipts was not enough, the correct final bill could be created and paid. Up to this point - everything is good. But a call 2 days later saying we left without paying is completely inappropriate. Of course everything could be explained, but it leaves a stupid feeling.

I can only say something about the restaurant:Despite the high-priced food, we were not convinced by the quality and taste.Certainly not the house specialty, but the children's meals were inedible.The highlight was a fat green fly under my garnish. The waitress apologized, snatched my plate from the table and said she was replacing the side dish.This happened immediately and I saw her push the side dish off the plate over the trash can, rush into the kitchen and come back with the same plate, just a new side dish.That's not possible, sorry.

We had dinner in the restaurant. The staff seemed grumpy and unmotivated. The food was ok, but the price/performance ratio was not convincing.
